How to Create a Layered Thank You Card with Dies – Step-by-Step Tutorial
Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial with you using the new Layered Thank You Etched Dies from the Essentially Yours Sentiments Collection.

It means that you can use the word on its own or with the shadow, which makes the sets more versatile. Today I am using the Thank You with both the word and shadow layers. DIE-CUTTING & ASSEMBLING THE SENTIMENT Die cut Layered Thank You Etched Dies: Please Note: the dies are shown in the…

As the name suggests, these wax seals are much smaller in size that the previous ones and are oh-so cute! I think they are the perfect finishing touch for cards, tags, boxes and more! JUST A NOTE My first card uses two of the new Mini Wax Seals. I thought they would look great on mini envelopes. They are a little on the large size for the envelopes I used, but I still think they look great! To make this card: Die cut the envelope from Love Note…
